  • Laidback Spanish-influenced Flanders campsite among pine forests
  • Half an hour's drive to Antwerp; 20 minutes to Bobbejaanland
  • Bar, tapas restaurant, playground and kids' activities on site
The name is Spanish, but the setting is Flemish… and the two come together to create a most delightful place to stay at Camping Siesta, surrounded by the pine forests of the Antwerp Kempen five minutes from Lille (the Belgian Lille, not the French one). The Spanish influence is perhaps most noticeable in the restaurant La Cantina, which opens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for a menu of tapas (with the costillas – ribs – a particular highlight) washed down with jugs of sangria and set to the soundtrack of a live flamenco guitarist. The laidback atmosphere gives a nod to the southern lifestyle too, and there are plenty of lovely spots where you can have a well-earned siesta while breathing in the scents of the pine trees. Much of the rest of the place is the full Flanders experience – from games of pétanque with your new neighbours to taking a walk on the trails that wind themselves through the forest next door, and of course finishing the day with a local golden beer. Kids are very welcome here, and can busy themselves clambering on the climbing frames at the playground or joining a forest safari with the site’s own woodland ranger (warning: they tend to get happily mucky on these activities, so send them off in an outfit you don’t mind getting dirty…) In between your forest forays, there are plenty of places nearby for days out – a trip to Antwerp (half an hour’s drive) is a must for many guests, and families often have a fabulous time at Bobbejaanland, 20 minutes away.

What customers say

Peaceful bush campsite praised for clean showers, friendly staff, spacious sites. Great for cycling/hiking, near a town with shops. Some found pitches muddy, bins overflowing, or noisy neighbours. A few noted missing advertised facilities.

Liked Malgré une arrivée le dimanche en fin d'après-midi, j'ai été très bien accueilli au camping et mon installation a été grandement facilitée par les indications claires et détaillées qui m'ont été données. Les emplacements de camping sont grands et propres, les sanitaires très bien entretenus. Je recommande cet établissement.

Liked De rustige omgeving, de goede nutsvoorzieningen en de extra services.

Disliked Nachtlawaai door buren die van het festival terugkeren en tot 2u 's ochtends zaten te babbelen, zonder rekening te houden met de omstaanders.

De Cantina was enkel open tijdens het weekend, ondanks dat het (heel) goed weer was en er vermeld was dat het open zou zijn in de week en met goed weer.

Liked We loved this site from when we arrived until we left. We are touring Europe with our dog and this was our first stop. The facilities were excellent, the people were more than friendly and the location was perfect. We couldn't praise the Siesta enough, and just hope every stop is as good as this.
Thank you.

Local attractions

Even if it’s the forest frolics that are the main focus of your holiday, you should take some time away for a trip to Antwerp (half an hour’s drive). It’s really a fabulous city, with attractions including a chocolate museum, a brewery and lots of museums, including the excellent Rubens House. Antwerp is also home to one of the oldest zoos in Europe, and a whole district of glittering diamond shops. For those of you with kids, Bobbejaanland (20 minutes) is a top day out, with lots of rides, shows and themed areas to explore. There are also lots of fun things for kids to do at De Lilse Bergen amusement park (10 minutes), or they can spend hours splashing about in the outdoor and subtropical pools at Netepark (15 minutes). If you’d rather stick to lots of outdoor time, plan things like walks in the Landschap Liereman (25 minutes) or go paddleboarding from Herentals (20 minutes).
